Bengali term or phrase: ডেমো
In the film 'Gandu' Rii Sen shouts out this word. Is it an interjection? What meaning does it have, if any? I have been trying to follow the film with subtitles to see if there was a word or phrase explaining what it meant but in vain A Bangla friend asked me what was the meaning of the word that Rii Sen shouted? Is it just an expression or a Bangla word that has some other meaning?

It is a semi-slang word in Bengali. When a person wants to elaborate a topic he or she uses this short form of demonstration.Before, this word used for anti-social or sexual activities. But now students and teenagers used this word broadly and it became a contemporary Bengali word.

This is the only answer given but a very useful one. I was reluctant to replay the film again, since it was disturbing. I should have known what to expect from the title 'badass'. Thanks to both contributors.
